RENO CITY HALL: Foreign Bodies. Metro Gallery at City Hall hosts artwork from Chicago-based visual artist Vesna Jovanovic.

Jovanovic’s drawings take into consideration what might enter the body surgically, accidentally, deliberately, violently or aesthetically—driving the question, “What is the different between a foreign body and a familiar body?” Through 2/26.
